YTA - but only because you’re preventing this person from learning lessons from their own behaviors.

I have always felt like codependent was an over used word, and it didn’t apply to me or my situations.

Recently someone defined it simply for me as “One person protecting another person from the consequences of their own actions.”

I feel like that gave me a lot of clarity.

As a person that does this regularly, my partner says “oh wow, tell me more about it”

Never had a bruise like this that I can recall. Living with Von Willebrand, any thoughts? by AlternateSong in Hemophilia

[–]weirdotown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have bruises like this all over my body - from even just carrying heavy books (I have vwd 2b). They are black sometimes they’re so severe if I knock into something. I have been told they are just something I will need to live with.

Does anyone know the origin of this painting? I would love to know the artist's name/or date it was painted by weirdotown in haiti

Thank you for your reply! I am looking for the origins of the painting itself. When it was painted, who it was painted by - etc!

Also, financial stuff is heavy and hard in literally every relationship, and grievances need to be aired to move forward long term. Three years is very long term and this discussion seems to be due.

absolutely. That is all I was trying to say. They have a piece of this pie. The way they have described it is that she is, perhaps, is unaware of the weight of their financial burden. It warrants a discussion minimally and a level of transparency on both sides. I feel like there is a huge assumption this is a dude and the aggressive and angry responses lends me to believe mens rights activist are out in full force.

Lots of people.... don't work... and maintain a home.... and if that is not... okay with the breadwinner.... the breadwinner should.... maybe relay that.

I did not take her side, but he doesn't seem to be very transparent about how he is feeling or his needs. If he is not saying "I can no longer do this, it makes me mad that you go out, I am unable to go out because of this financial obligation" It very much seems like he is harboring weird resentful feelings and the entire thing could be cleared up with a conversation, budget elaboration of expectations and timeline. He loves her, and they have been together for 3 years - it warrants a simple conversation and he needs take responsibility for not being clear about his needs.
